What I'm saying NedFlanders is that if you really want to sabotage your child's social life, there are easier ways of doing it.

I would say you could get him a budget circumcision, but I hear they're mostly ripoffs.

lol i don't put a lot of emphasis on my kids being popular little shitheads, i'd rather them be good, driven, morally grounded, and eager to conquer the darkness of our hosed up wasteland of poo poo culture with brightness of their inner light

also lol again

On one hand I'm going to get a substantial trust fund when I get older

On the other hand I got schizophrenia when I was 23

so you'll have to split the fund seven ways, then?

If and when I decide to have children, I will be responsible for making enough money to support their needs, instead of pretending that hardship builds character and is actually better than being an adequate provider because I would rather whine about capitalism on the internet all day than work

it doesn't take a lot of money to cover one's needs, and hardship does build character lmao if you've lived such a cushy life that you don't know this from experience like literally everyone else who's ever lived in human history

Just pretend your back hurts and go on disability. you get like $19k/year for life and never have to work again

You can get a similar deal if you say youre depressed, and if you really dont want to work you can probably pull it off. Its more ethical than having a trust fund, which is something from feudalism

Sorry I dont have any snarky webcomics to use in place of an actual opinion, but heres a kind of script I came up with for one:

(scene: a CAPITALIST and a COMMUNIST are having brunch together)

CAPITALIST: I'm a rapist and I have an IQ of 80 (takes upside down fedora off and puts it on again but backwards)

COMMUNIST: Thats fine - thanks to the inherently unjust nature of the capitalist system we live in, that actually means you will enjoy a life of privilege far better than the hard-working, moral, and intelligent people who live on welfare!

it's not being a retarted rapist that makes one successful in capitalism, it's owning capital within capitalism which enables retarded rapists to accumulate wealth stolen from the labor of people who work harder

capitalism allows people to be born into privilege and literally never do a single bit of actual labor, using their inherited wealth accumulate more wealth off of the labor of other people

My parents did absolutely nothing to help me prepare for my future, but it's ok, because I'm able to take care of myself just fine.

If you need someone to subsidize your life for you, that's fine. Some people can't make it on their own and need that extra help, and there should be no shame in it.

If you cant see the difference between parents giving money they earned to their own kid for food and clothes, and the government giving working peoples' money to people for food and clothes, then I doubt I could explain it to you

No, I don't. In both cases, the money's going to working people to people who may or may not be working.

I'll ask again - are all American families with trust funds millionaires trading racehorses?

Because most over here contain very modest amounts of money and are basically just savings accounts with a slightly higher return.

Though if u have a bank account u are a capitalist sympathiser, pls kill you are self
